This view looks toward the rings from about 14 degrees below the ringplane. Saturn's shadow darkens the ringplane immediately off the planet's limb.

The image was taken using a spectral filter sensitive to wavelengths of infrared light centered at 853 nanometers. The view was obtained with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on May 11, 2007 at a distance of approximately 720,000 kilometers (448,000 miles) from Saturn. Image scale is 43 kilometers (27 miles) per pixel.
